I wasn't going to post this today but now that all the gloom has been aired this evening I thought it is appropriate. Confession, no, just an analysis concerning my perception of the lack of interest, care, response from a majority of readers. It is also evident in the press who, continues to avoid front page reality and prints smaller artifices that are reality placing the news on the back pages or in small side paragraphs. Yet just tonight the major news was blaring across the TV newsrooms, layoffs and closings and more to come.
Example, on Yahoo they published just today an article about new vehicles the auto industry is bringing to market here in the US. Evidently there are people out there whining who can afford these $25,000 and up vehicles, who can pay cash and have great credit? You see them at the Super Bowl and at the BCS games and all about. You see them with their Florida shirts and hats, their team gear, their designer clothes and bags and shoes. They are all about. No they are not "average" Americans, they are who these leaders address and work for.
So when I write for the masses, those average Americans, it evidently does not reach this bunch? They are evidently happy as a pig in a pig pen with what they have or don't care? It is simply speaking, truth. So the answer is no outrage, no letters, no emails, no nada, nothing, zilch because while they cry wolf, in my opinion they are the wolf.
What do I mean? Well I wrote to this last year. They are the
20% who own it all, that have. They are the ones who drive this economy. It really has nothing to do with the average and the poor. These people are to them, bovine. The irresponsible, non credit worthy, who should have been more careful, who they see as lazy, worthless , non-performers they have to carry. Yes and carry they will.
I am fast approaching that I can do quite well becoming a ward of the state. I can get medical care, food and housing assistance and maybe even a few bucks every now and then to spurge on. I can sit home all day, enjoy my fishing, day trips, laying back in the rocker, my ball games and BBQ and really have what life is all about.
I won't have to worry much about wealth because I can't take it with me and as long as I can get public housing I can have a roof over my head to keep as clean and good as I want.. Sure they will label me, call me names but in reality they already do and frankly does that matter? No taxes, no bill collectors, no stress.
So
It is evident I am wrong. You see I thought, really thought people cared, really wanted to help their fellow man out. That they would take a simple action to speak out and let our leaders know our concerns. That we are what and who we profess by mouth. Well once again
It is evident I am wrong. You see I really thought those taking an oath before God believed as I do.
It is evident I am wrong. I thought the churches would be up in arms, speaking out.
It is evident I am wrong. You see I thought journalism wasn't bias or ideology.
It is evident I am wrong. You see I thought, really thought. Americans wanted this form of government, Republic.
It is evident I am wrong. You see I thought that usury was wrong according to the bible and that believers knew this and agreed.
It is evident I am wrong. You see I thought illegal meant crime.
It is evident I am wrong. You see when my leaders say, go talk to your lender, foreclosures are on hold, they will work with you they knew that as fact.
It is evident I am wrong. You see
It is evident I am wrong about quite a bit based on the reality I see all around me, what I hear, read, see. Yes sadly,
It is evident I am wrong.
